Watch Speed Racer For Free

Admirable film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

There is something unique about this movie. The first time I finished it I was curious. The second time, I was fulfilled. I do not know how many times I watched it in between my most recent viewing, but I really liked it this time.It is just a good movie.

2 hours I will never get back. Heart filling story, I don't see how when they walked out of the editing room they thought they had done something good.

Speed Racer is filmed in a unique and imaginative way that at times is electrifying. Colors are vivid, action is wild, and information is dense but *usually* clear, notably in scenes where present action is seamlessly and simultaneously juxtaposed with flashbacks.It's impressive but often utterly exhausting. The movie starts in a mad adrenaline rush and just keeps pushing it. And a certain point I thought the action would never offer respite, and it would be two hours of flashy camera-work, elaborate green-screen setups, and explosions. But the time of the film's first quiet scene I was already mentally exhausted.All this tremendous bravura filmmaking exists more for itself than the story, which is trite and predictable. It is as though Martin Scorcese decided to use his considerable talents to make a My Little Pony movie.As a kid's movie, it's not bad. It's got annoying kids and monkeys and cartoonish bad guys and other things kids like. But it is pure sensory overload.

The action is breathtaking, they said.The visuals are beautiful, they said.The Wachowskis are innovative geniuses, they said.The story is seamless, they said.The comedy works, they said.The characters as they are portrayed are believable, they said.Everyone pulls off a perfect performance, they said.It captures the spirit of youth perfectly, they said.It captures the spirit of the anime perfectly, they said.It's good even with your brain on, they said.It's better than The Matrix, they said.It's better than every single blockbuster in its vein, they said.It's art, they said.It's everything that art should be, they said.
